Tuesday 27th September
We treated ourselves to breakfast at pop this morning (2 cs credits used as we shared the breakfast with the kids)
Again we get to blizzard beach in time for the opening (10am)
We brought the sticker to put over yesterday’s refillable mug ($6) and set up camp in tykes peak again. We only plan to stay till 1pm as we wanted to go to mgm after lunch, we had originally planned to do mgm all day but last night the kids insisted they wanted to go back to blizzard beach so a compromise was reached.
We really don’t do much except for lie around in the sun!
We leave blizzard beach as planned and go to MGM via pop (to get changed) we arrive at MGM at 3.30pm and we hire a stroller for ds who is whining about being tired
The plan today is to go on some of the rides we have not been on so far and we have an ADR for 50’s prime time at 5.40pm.
We head for the little mermaid 1st as dd is desperate to see this and after the show we wander through Walt Disney one man’s dream (this always brings a lump to my throat) I try to get the kids to appreciate how much went into the whole Disney thing but not surprisingly it goes straight over their heads!
I manage to veto going into playhouse Disney pointing out we have seen it before and its too babyish for a four year old that loves T of T.
we had also intended to see Indiana jones, who wants to be a millionaire and drew carey sounds dangerous but somehow time flies by and we don’t do any of them!
We arrive at 50’s prime time a little early because we are all hungry! We don’t get seated any earlier though
We have cousin dale as our server and he is very good but it’s a busy time and I found the service to be unbearably slow, we order onion rings and shrimp cocktail to start and I have the pot roast and dh has the grilled tuna plate for the entrée, The pot roast is delicious it really melts in your mouth and I really enjoy it. The kids both have nuggets for a change
For dessert I had the cheesecake DH has the dads sundae and the kids have sundae as well. We get the drinks with the glowing ice-cube for the kids to their delight.
The meal itself was good but very slow and as a result we don’t get out of the restaurant till 7.45pm and MGM closes at 8pm
All our plans to ride some of the rides during Fantasmic slip away fast and then dd decided she would finally like to go on T of T so we split up as I wanted to try the great movie ride again. Dh takes the stroller and dd and me and ds head for the great movie ride. The queue is non-existent and it’s the last ride of the day. We just sit down in the car when ds announces is a panicked voice that he needs a poo!
I decide not to chance it and get him to wait so we ask to be let of the ride so I can take him to the loos.
We then wander back to T of T to meet up with DH and dd. I am reminded when they come off the ride that I am now the only member of the family not to have attempted the ride and I am pleased to say I STILL AM!
We then leave the park, as I am now really sick of ds whining and decide if he is that tired he must need an early night
Back to the magic kingdom tomorrow and our 1st experience of bad weather

Never mind, we'll get there next time hopefully.
along with DH's poncho and two plastic robots from Epcot as all the suitcases had to be sat on to close and the hand luggage was already very heavy (especially as DS(5) tended to let me carry it!) 
That was the best thing I ate in all of WDW, thanks for making me jealous
